Clock is ticking on massive consolidation of HHSC agencies

When this second phase is over, 24,000 employees and more than 100 programs will be merged into a 40,000-employee HHSC

The size of the Health and Human Services Commission will more than double on Sept. 1, as the agency continues the consolidation begun with Senate Bill 200 in 2015.

Executive Commissioner Charles Smith has assembled a crisis team for what will be the largest state agency overhaul in decades.
